Poor Dougy! Still locked out!
Then Marianne came through the door. Dougy let out a sad little “meow” when she leaned toward him, but was a big kitty boy and let her pet him.
Perhaps he’s adjusting. Earlier, when Marianne and I were talking and she was standing too close to Dougy’s ottoman (by his reckoning), he fiercely scratched the ottoman to let Marianne know, “It is MINE”
Gracious! How rude!
Give our best to Marianne, Doug. I am just catching up with your posts, so I will see if she gets a good night’s sleep. 🙂
Marianne says to tell you she loves the way you take care of all of the beautiful flowers! She has been sleeping well here, probably because she locks the kitty boys out of the bedroom. Ha!
Dougy is locked up part 2 XD!
He is rude to me, too, when it comes to his ottoman.
I think he deserves to be locked up if he does that.
Or be sent to a kitty boy finishing school to learn some manners! I have a theory that people who are related have similar scents, something cats can pick up on. When my family visit, they are treated much nicer by the kitty boys.
Don’t worry Dougy, no one would take your ottoman.
…or dare to think about it!
there are limits, right? and to share YOUR ottoman is not part of the contract ;O)
Never share the ottoman! NEVAIR! (Dougy put on a fake French accent for your benefit!) Nope, never. He even tells me off if I put my feet on it, and I remind him who has the thumbs that make it possible to open kitty food cans….
Dougy you can use the french jamais for never… it ends with a very sharp s and it is pawfect to hiss ;o)
Woo hoo! He can’t wait to try it out! He sends you a tender “woof”! (I confess, had he told me he “woofed” just then, I would have thought he said “mrow”!)
You’re funny 🙂 I love “NEVAIR” 😉 Then, of course, “…remind him who has the thumbs that make it possible to open kitty food cans…” Super! 🙂
One has to maintain one’s dignity somehow! (Of course, he still wins out in the end!)

Big adjustment for a boy to make !
In the negotiations between the kitty boys and Marianne, it was decided to leave the door open a crack for them to come and go. When Marianne wakes up, I’ll have to ask her how she slept. (That’s a sneaky way of asking “Did the kitty boys pester you all night?”) If it worked out, the change will be made permanent.
It is hard to sleep with cats walking over you all night. If there are two or more they seem to take it in turns to walk on you. This is difficult after a very long stint of travel, especially if the traveller is jetlagged as well. I hope the boys are considerate.
I hope so, too! What they can’t know is that the door will be shut again if they did interfere in her rest. The plan here is to try to let Marianne decompress as much as [possible here so when she returns to Amsterdam, jet lag is less of an issue. Three weeks in America in two time zones (Eastern and Mountain) is enough to scramble anyone’s circadian rhythms!
Yes it certainly i ! The boys will need to make allowances for her !
I think they are warming up to her just about at the right pace.
at reading you it appears Dougy has a good behavior !
In friendship

Yes, he’s been pretty good for a kitty boy!
